    Dogs Returning To Their Vomit

    Ok, so this is the first time I've ever cared to think deeply about this passage. I'm wondering what ya'll think of what I think this is about: 2 Peter 2:22 KJV - 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was...

    Expressions of Anger And Irritation

    It has occurred to me, and I hope this helps to generate future and permanent change, that each time I express any form of opposition to this world, the opportunity to share the Gospel is lost, if not most likely, anyway. This is a stark reminder of how we are to conduct ourselves in this...

    Jesus Preached to the Spirits In Prison

    As usual, only those who have been given the hearts to build up and encourage others, you are the ones I hope to hear from. Those who thrive on teaching each other apart: Please visit another thread. Today's study of 1 Peter is extremely difficult, and the above concept is no different. 1...

    Would "Corruptible Things" Include Water?

    Hola, Scholars! I'm working on a one-day study of 1 Peter and thought I would run this verse past those of you who don't take things so seriously. If gold and silver are considered impure and thus cannot be used to purify a person's soul, why would water be any different? 1 Peter 1:18-19 KJV -...

    All Of Israel, Or Just A Remnant?

    This concept has bothered me for quite some time. Does anyone have any ideas of how we justify the two below, and apparently opposing concepts?

    God Abandoned The Gentiles?

    The below passage struck me as never before: Romans 1:24 NLT - "So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies." If I said that I abandoned my wife and my children, wouldn't this indicate that...

    I wrote a Letter to my Free Will

    Dear Free Will. I just wanted to let you know how much I am thankful for you. If not for you, God would be in control of me. And that would, well, just be awful, in fact, it would be hateful of Him if He took you away from me. I don’t know what I’d do without you. I mean, I wouldn’t be allowed...

    If the Law Protected the Jews . . .

    If the Law Protected the Jews . . . What then, happened to Gentiles if they committed the same sin that would require the death of the Jew? The Law was given so that when the Jews sinned, they could sacrifice an animal. Thus the animal died to spare the sinner's life. So again, what about the...

    Why Must Saul Suffer?

    Below, we will read that Saul, later named Paul, must suffer, though we are not given a specific reason for why. Would his suffering be, because of his persecutions that included the murder of Stephen? Or, will his suffering be a result of simply establishing the Christian Faith? Or, are there...

    Peter's Vision - Kill & Eat

    Is it possible that Peter's Vision also served as a purpose to get Peter to realize that he and the Jewish believers no longer need to follow the Jewish customs regarding what is and is not considered clean. He even stated that he had continued, to that day, following the customs of Moses since...

    When Was Jesus Sent To Earth?

    Was Jesus sent to Earth as a baby 2000 years ago? Or, has He been here since the world began, notably as the Tree of Life? John 17:5 NLT - "Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began." I have never realized this passage until the last day or two. Unbelievable.

    "You will be held responsible for the murder of all godly people . . ."

    All opinions welcome . . . rude people, not so much. I'm not one for turning to commentaries, but would rather turn to people whom I can ask questions and clarify. Therefore, in the Scripture below, why will Jesus hold the current body of Jewish rulers and authorities responsible for the deaths...

    If Jesus Joined This Forum . . .

    When He began talking to you, would He find you to be more like His Disciple or like a Pharisee, Sadducee, and teacher of the Law?

    Free Will - A More Exhaustive Look

    As I have read through the Bible several times, I have logged the many passages that clearly show that God caused people and groups of people to think, act, and speak against their own will. And while a person may not change their view once I have offered all passages collected, a new...
